On March 27th and 28th, 2025, France hosted the Nutrition for Growth Summit (N4G) in Paris. Launched in 2013 in London, N4G is a flagship international conference aimed at securing concrete political and financial commitments to combat malnutrition in all its forms.
N4G brings together governments, international organisations, philanthropies, businesses, NGOs and other key stakeholders at a global and regional level to elevate nutrition as a key development agenda and accelerate progress against malnutrition. In preparation for the upcoming 2025 N4G Summit, the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) hosted two nutrition dialogues in Pakistan to help raise awareness on the N4G Summit and mobilize public and private sector actors to help address malnutrition.
According to the article 13 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, children and young people have the right to express their opinions and views to others by talking, drawing, writing or through any other medium they want to use. For this reason, the Nutrition Dialogues have included the possibility to organize Children’s Workshops to encourage the active participation of children and young people in a child-friendly conversation to share perceptions, ideas and potential actions to improve children’s nutrition in their community. The objective of these workshops was to support children and young people to build a shared purpose about what they want to achieve with regards to improving the nutrition in the years to come.
